do you like visiting museums?
- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!

I love these blooming trees, apparently right now is its season in Israel, I just found out that this tree is called Jacaranda. Originally it's from South America, but it can be seen all over the world nowadays!
Enjoy your week🌱

- In the next cycle, using web3 won't cost 50 to 100 dollars per transaction (completely unsustainable for the future of the internet)
The solution: Layer 2 scaling

- Would u ever wear a wallet as a chain/ jewelry ?
- Happy Memecoin Season!
- Coverage in local crypto newsletter about my upcoming Sothebys auction
- I was thinking something that worked similar to @remindmebot.lens where you can tag it, give it a prompt and it will reply with an answer to the question you asked. So you could ask "who's my most engaged follower over the past week", and it could give you an answer, some charts/comparisons, and link you to a more complete dashboard for the data analysis

**Millennial Frida Kahlo**
**Short Bio:**
Cyber Shakti is a glitch artist based in India with a creative journey spanning various mediums, including photography, collages, painting, video animations, and more. She explores the intersection of her meditative state and pixels, creating a fusion of spiritual energy and glitch art. Although glitch is inherently erroneous, broken or faulty, she uses glitch tools, apps, filters, and more, to create works that are so vibrant that you forget they were broken in the first place. Cyber Shakti's artistic expression mirrors her surroundings, often satirical and humorous in nature. Her art is an infusion of her inner feminine energy and the power of the digital world. Through her work, she voices contemporary issues, bringing attention to the importance of gender equality, finding the divine feminine powers within oneself and social justice.
**Explanation of the work:**
Frida Kahlo's self-portraits are some of her most famous works of art. Kahlo was a Mexican artist who is known for her powerful and personal paintings, often depicting her own experiences and emotions.
Kahlo created around 55 self-portraits during her lifetime, using a variety of mediums including oil paint, watercolor, and pencil. Her self-portraits often feature her distinctive appearance, including her unibrow, prominent facial hair, and traditional Mexican clothing.
Many of Kahlo's self-portraits depict her physical and emotional pain, as she suffered from a number of health problems throughout her life, including polio and a bus accident that left her with permanent injuries. She often depicted herself in a vulnerable or wounded state, but also showed strength and resilience in the face of her struggles.

**My Work-**
*This is a modern interpretation of Frida Kahlo!*
If Frida were to be living amongst us, I reckon she'd be sitting in her comfy boyshorts in the afternoons as she sat by the window catching her breath between chores - looking at herself in the mirror - or selfie camera on tripod - making a self portrait that would pass off as a 24 hour only IG story.
Making art was important because it meant documentation of a time, memory or milestone, information and clues about a bygone era. But most importantly, only a few were equipped to make art. Artists were a delightful breed. Most good ones, also forgotten.
In a social set-up where everything is over documented, HOW ARE WE PICKING OUR CHAMPIONS? Who is worth remembering, as a collective? who's POV is valid and who's venting i

- I know I go on about this stuff and I apologize to anyone bored by it but I’ve been analyzing social networks since 2004, before we even understood them to be “social networks.” I understand incentives, moats, feedback loops, flywheels, etc…This is not guesswork, it’s 19 years of watching networks compete and determining why winners won and losers failed. I firmly believe Lens has the best structural model for our future. It’s obvious to me. So I’m sorry if you’ve heard this before but I’m going to keep going on and on about this until stuff actually gets built (and I know it will):
NFTs enable social networks.
They are data in a shared database.
Anyone can take that data and build an app which uses it.
If you reverse this stack it becomes infinitely easier to build everything:
Anyone can build any app.
Put the data for that app in the shared database.
Social networks can form around the data.
***********************
Data Creation
***********************
Social networks require data creation to survive. To get and retain more users you need more data being created. This is difficult. Most people on a social network never (or rarely) create content. This is known as the 90-9-1 Rule:
90% of users lurk
9% contribute a little
1% account for almost all of the content
TikTok has incredible solutions for this: Stitches, Duets, etc. Remixing existing data makes it easier for users to create.
The apps on Lens so far have been mostly focused on getting web2-type creators to create data. “Here’s my photo, here’s my music. Please pay me and you get a digital receipt.”
The creators here trying to break that mold (myself included!) are doing so haphazardly. In a database where anyone can create any type of data, the creators here are creating data in their own formats. I’m using my collected posts differently than @arterlioz.lens is which is different than how @chaoticmonk.lens is which is different than how @jessyjeanne.lens is.
Standards enable faster creation:
When Instagram created tools for square photos + filters people were able to quickly create data in that format.
When Instagram enabled carousels, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
When Instagram created Stories, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
When Instagram created Reels, the entire user base was able to create that data quickly.
Instagram doesn’t allow users to upload any random data, they create the tools first. The tools determine what the data looks like. A Reel is a very specific type of data in a database, for example.
In my opinion, almost all of web3 suffers this problem. Web3 is focused on creating the data first and figuring out the tools later. I’m trying to point out that doing the opposite will achieve faster, greater results.
Create the tool first.
Use NFTs as the data.
Reddit Avatars are a great example of building the tool first.
***********************
Collects
***********************
Right now collecting posts here is like Facebook + Patreon. It’s mildly interesting.
Remember the 90-9-1 rule?
Data Sovereignty is niche. The 1% care. The 90% don’t care about the database they’re using, they want to consume engaging content.
Lens’ Super Power:
Collects are a data creation flywheel!
Collecting is a new form of data/content creation. Lens’ biggest advantage by far has been almost completely ignored to date.
Collecting turns the 90% into creators. Incentivizing collecting means more data is created, more users become creators, and more creators are incentivized to create on Lens.
**************************
I beg any and all devs to please think of this stack when building here:
-Build an app with very specific data.
-Use NFTs (collects) as the database.
Incentivize collecting by utilizing the collects as data in your app. Usage, creation, and adoption will skyrocket for those who focus on the “collecting” side of the creator/collector equation.

Leave a comment, a drop might be coming 👀
- the dispatcher is enabled. but it is asking me to sign a transaction every time I want to mirror something. @yoginth.lens @lensprotocol @lenster.lens
and Mirror is not working altogether for me in @orbapp.lens @nilesh.lens
can you help?
- Fuck airdrop, I love Lens and I'm staying.
- Thank you Paji 💜 @chaoticmonk.lens

- If everything goes well, staking ETH because two-way stream, you can withdraw as well the staked ETH from the Ethereum staking. Been waiting for dis 🤞
- Lens signless transactions are now better, faster, stronger!
You can upgrade your signless transactions on @lenster.lens: https://lenster.xyz/settings/dispatcher
Coming on other community-built applications 🔜!
- Everyone go and update your dispatcher on lenster. We are load balancing the dispatcher out (10x increase in dispatchers), and if you upgrade to one of the new dispatcher, you most likely will see a considerable improvement in the speed of it being sent on-chain, on top of having less fight for queue space. It requires a signature but it’s worth it! 🚀🙌🏼

- Journal Note #9
Today, I woke up unconscious next to the armory. There was some blood around, but I am almost sure it was not mine. However, it was on my hands. The color of the blood was something between red and blue, and it had a similar glow to the fluid in the device. Although I passed out, I was most likely hit. I don't see any scars or bruises on myself, so most likely, one of the voices had used its skills to get us through this.
This means only one thing; I need to reinforce my base. I saw a junkyard nearby, and I hope to find some stuff that might help me out with that. However, I am worried that it might have been looted by other survivors, if there are any, which I am slowly starting to doubt. Perhaps the thing that attacked me was an infected human or another mutated animal. I need to find a way to be able to contact my voices again, and maybe they will know what is happening.
So, the smartest thing to do now would be to secure the door, go take a nap, and head to the junkyard. Hopefully, I could find a generator and some electronics to start reinforcing the base to be able to hold out any threats. Before heading to sleep, I might eat one of the soups as I am too dizzy to go try and gather some food outside while i am also worried that i might pass out again or that thing can still be out there somewhere
- Wav3s has lot of potential, I think they need to curate the first users and also create ready made audiences that you can allow to have incentivized mirror. I think thats the path to have high quality amplification network
